Alvaro Morata, who has been working at Milanello even during these rest days granted by Paulo Fonseca, has nearly recovered from the muscle injury sustained on the first day of the season against Torino, which forced him to miss the subsequent matches against Parma and Lazio.
In fact, the Spaniard’s recovery is actually progressing well, and he will be available immediately after the break. It is expected, as per reports, that he will initially come off the bench against Venezia but will start against Liverpool and Inter, as told by the Turin-based daily newspaper, Tuttosport, in this morning’s print edition.
Alvaro Morata is looking forward to playing the upcoming derby on September 22. He said these words to Sky Sport Italia (read full interview here):
“I can’t wait to experience scoring in a derby and winning it, to make Milan fans proud. Inter is very competitive, they have a great team, but you have to play with heart. You can make a mistake with a pass or a chance, but you must give everything on the pitch. You need hunger in a derby; that’s something you can’t miss.”
